C1 SmartStart for Application Vulnerability Response (AVR)

Shift left without slowing down.

C1 SmartStart for Application Vulnerability Response accelerates deployment of ServiceNow AVR and integrates your entire DevSecOps ecosystem—from SAST/DAST/SCA tools to CI/CD pipelines and developer platforms. Vulnerabilities flow directly into ServiceNow with full traceability, enriched scoring, and automated routing into Jira, Azure DevOps, or GitHub Issues. Developers receive clean, contextualized tasks; AppSec gains visibility and governance; and compliance teams get audit-ready reporting. This SmartStart delivers a scalable, automated foundation for embedding security directly into your SDLC.

Key Benefits

  • Unified intake of application vulnerabilities across SAST, DAST, SCA, and container scanners
  • Risk-based scoring using exploitability, app criticality, data sensitivity, and compliance impact
  • Automated developer ticketing in Jira, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Issues
  • End-to-end DevSecOps workflows that reduce friction between AppSec & engineering
  • Dashboards showing posture, defect trends, and SLA performance across repos and releases
  • Exception workflows & audit logs aligned with ISO, PCI, HIPAA, CMMC, and NIST
  • Reduced MTTR and fewer vulnerabilities reaching production

Why This SmartStart Matters

Modern engineering teams deploy fast—but AppSec tooling often operates in silos. Without unified workflows and risk-based prioritization, developers get overwhelmed, AppSec gets bottlenecked, and remediation slows down.

C1SmartStart fixes this by creating a centralized, automated, and developer-friendly vulnerability workflow. Findings sync instantly into developer tools, scoring models reduce noise, and leadership gains transparency across all applications, releases, and repos.

This is DevSecOps without the chaos.

Capabilities

Scanner Integration & Centralized Intake
Pull in findings from Veracode, Checkmarx, Snyk, SonarQube, GitHub Advanced Security, and more.

Risk-Based Scoring & Prioritization
Score vulnerabilities using exploitability, CVSS, app criticality, data sensitivity, and compliance frameworks.

Developer Workflow Automation
Create and sync remediation tickets automatically into Jira, Azure DevOps, or GitHub Issue queues.

Secure SDLC Visibility
Dashboards display defect age, SLA performance, remediation trends, and app-level posture.

Exception & Governance Workflows
Handle false positives, compensating controls, and risk acceptance with full audit trails.

Compliance Mapping
Map vulnerabilities to ISO, PCI, HIPAA, CMMC, and NIST controls with audit-ready reporting.

End-to-End DevSecOps Automation
Bridge AppSec, developers, and release pipelines to reduce manual coordination and MTTR.

How It Works

  1. Integrate scanners & CI/CD tooling
  2. Normalize and enrich findings in ServiceNow
  3. Prioritize using risk-based scoring models
  4. Sync remediation tasks into developer platforms
  5. Track SLAs, exceptions, and compliance impact
  6. Visualize posture via real-time dashboards

Who It’s For

  • AppSec & DevSecOps Teams
  • CISOs & Security Leadership
  • CTOs, Engineering Directors & Development Teams
  • Compliance, Audit, and IRM Owners
  • ServiceNow SecOps / Platform Owners

Use Cases

Shift-Left Security Integration
Immediate routing of findings to developers early in the SDLC.
Outcome: Fewer vulnerabilities reach production.

Automated DevSecOps Workflows
Remove manual AppSec → developer hand-offs.
Outcome: Reduced MTTR and friction.

Prioritization That Reduces Noise
Focus on vulnerabilities that truly matter.
Outcome: Higher impact per engineering hour.

Structured Exceptions & Risk Acceptance
Governance for false positives & deferred fixes.
Outcome: Defensible, repeatable decision-making.

Portfolio-Level AppSec Visibility
Dashboards across all apps, repos, and releases.
Outcome: Better leadership insight and planning.
